<h3 id="rationale">Rationale:</h3>
<p>ShellCheck found characters (other than redirections) after the
<code>]</code> or <code>]]</code> in a test expression. This is not
valid.</p>
<p>This sometimes happens when there was an additional expression or
command, but joining <code>||</code> or <code>&amp;&amp;</code> is
missing. Alternatively, it could happen due to typos (like
<code>[[ $1 ]]]</code> with an extra <code>]</code>), or generally from
malformed test expressions.</p>
